Happy National Pet Day

Happy National Pet’s Day to all who have the privilege of sharing their adventures and life with a pet. (Borrowed text from unknown author) In Hawaiian, you don’t call yourself your pet’s owner. You are their KAHU. KAHU has many meanings. Among them: GUARDIAN, PROTECTOR, STEWARD, BELOVED ATTENDANT. Basically someone entrusted with the safekeeping of something precious, something cherished. What a KAHU protects is not their property. What they protect is a part of their soul. Dogs are the true definition of loyalty and unconditional love! They are angels without wings. We honestly don’t deserve them! . . . . . . . . . . #nationalpetday #petday #dogs #dogsarefamily #labradormom #labradorbreeder #dogsaregodsgift
